Practicing and Placing Imaginaries - Interdisciplinary Perspectives, Conceptual Ideas, and Case Studies

The contributors to this volume explore the intertwined relationship of imagining and practicing from different fields of study (sociology, philosophy, literary and cultural studies), complementing practice and theoretical approaches with interdisciplinary insights into the entanglements of doings and imaginations. They build a bridge between sociological research and cultural studies and thus challenge perspectives which characterize imagining as an individual and solitary activity. Rather, imagining is situated and shaped by its placement in specific contexts and communities.
